So sad to see @Harrypell_7 Leave after the few years of a great guy full of smiles and commitment on and off the pitch. Would never be in the EFL without Harry and memories such as FGR away and Grimsby are the ones to remember. Colchester have bagged a gem. Thank you Pelly #ctfc pic.twitter.com/AEL2lohAPM
